Seth Emerson writes a few hundred words on the current state of Georgia’s offensive line and the right tackle position in particular, complete with quotes from Friend, without a single mention of Xzavier Ward.

Several beat me to it, but what it sounds like is Ward is still troubled by injuries/surgeries in the past and they have to limit his reps.
But to be fair, Houston has been the media darling of camp so far and Friend has said, that while Houston has done well and has been with the program longer, he is almost a RS-Freshman in terms of actual practice time and reps.

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
